Sara Gonzalez, who represented Red Hook, Sunset Park, Windsor Terrace and Boerum Hill from 2002 to 2013, filed paperwork to register as a candidate in her old council district, the board tweeted Friday.

Councilman Carlos Menchaca whopped Gonzalez in 2013, winning by a margin of 18 points. A Daily News analysis ranked her last in number of bills introduced and near the bottom of the pack for attendance. She was not known for being visible in her district either, leading to her acquiring the unwanted moniker of "the absent councilwoman."

Since Gonzalez left office, council members have upped their salaries by $36,000 and now make $148,500 a year.
